This year’s conference examines the impact of Artificial Intelligence on today’s organizations and the critical initiatives shaping readiness, response, and recovery in an AI-driven world. As AI rapidly transforms technology, risk, and operations, the conference will explore how leaders are preparing for emerging challenges, responding to AI-related incidents and disruptions, and recovering in ways that strengthen long-term resilience. Through expert-led sessions and practical discussions, attendees will gain insight into navigating AI’s opportunities and risks while building adaptive, future-ready programs
Government Partnerships, Resources, and Assets
Governments at the local, state, and federal levels play a critical role in strengthening cybersecurity and AI resilience through guidance, programs, and shared resources. This conference theme highlights how public-sector initiatives support organizations in navigating the responsible use of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies.
